The Buhimba–Nalweyo–Kakindu–Bulamagi Road is a road in the Western Region of Uganda, connecting the town of Buhimba in Hoima District with the towns of Nalweyo, Kakindu and Bulamagi, in Kakumiro District.[1]

Location

The road starts at Buhimba, approximately Шаблон:Convert, south of the city of Hoima, the capital of the sub-region.[2] The road runs in a general southern direction, crosses River Kafu to Nalweyo, in Kakumiro District. From Nalweyo, the road runs in a general southwesterly direction, through Kakindu to end at Bulamagi, a total distance of about Шаблон:Convert.[3] The geographical coordinates of this road, immediately west of Nalweyo are: 01°07'24.0"N , 31°15'06.0"E (Latitude:1.123333; Longitude:31.251667).[4]

Overview

This road is one of the roads planned for upgrade and renovation as Uganda prepares the region for oil production, with first oil anticipated in 2021.[1][5]

Upgrading to tarmac

Prior to 2018, this road was gravel-surface in poor condition, with gullies and pot-holes. In January 2018, the Uganda National Roads Authority awarded the renovation contract to China Wuyi Industrial Company (CWIC). The work is funded with a US$50 million loan from Exim Bank of China.[1]

The upgrading of the road involved the conversion of the then existing gravel surface to tarmac and the building of bridges and drainage channels, bridges, intersections and related infrastructure. As of April 2018, the contractor was in the pre-construction mobilization stage.[1]

Controversy

In August 2018, the Uganda's Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Assets Authority (PPDA), halted the procurement of an engineering consultant for this road and for the connecting Bulamagi–Igayaza–Kakumiro Road, citing irregularities in the process. The procurement has to be re-advertised from the start.[6]
